As soon as she got into the car, Elaine couldn't wait to take out the cornflower sapphire again and admire it with Fang Yufei.
When I was in the Red Mansion before, there were so many people around me that I couldn't hold this sapphire for a long time to appreciate it. It would easily make people jealous.
That's not the case now. There are no outsiders around, so you can enjoy it with confidence.
In an instant, the two beauties were completely attracted by this huge sapphire, and their eyes were filled with intoxication.
The motorcade also started at the same time, leaving the Red Building and heading towards the hotel on the other side of the Seine River.
A moment later, Xiao Ran's cell phone suddenly rang.
He took out his cell phone and looked at it, and found that it was the call from that guy Joshua.
This made Xiao Ran somewhat surprised, but he still slid open the screen and answered.
"Good afternoon, Joshua"
"Good afternoon, Sean."
Joshua's familiar voice came from the phone.
After saying hello, the guy immediately got to the point.
"Sean, I heard that you found a huge top-grade sapphire in the Red Mansion, weighing thirty or forty grams. This is simply amazing!"
"I have to say, you are so lucky. You can find all kinds of treasures, as if all the treasures in the world are prepared for you..."
As soon as he said this, he was directly interrupted by Xiao Ran.
"Joshua, how did you know about this? Yes, I did find a rare top-quality cornflower sapphire in the Red Mansion!"
"But I did not make the news public. Only the fans in the live broadcast room saw this sapphire and the process of my discovery of this sapphire."
"Don't ever tell me that you have your eyes and ears in my live broadcast room, or that you have your spies around me?"
"If it's the first situation, I can barely accept it. If it's the second situation, don't blame me for being rude!"
Xiao Ran said in surprise, but his tone was a little cold.
"Hahaha, you misunderstood, Sean, I did not place an informant around you."
"We have a cooperative relationship, and our cooperation has always been good. I would not do anything like that."
Joshua said with a smile and defended himself a few words.
As for whether what he said is true, it is unknown.
Next, the guy explained the source.
It turned out that some fans in the live broadcast room posted screenshots of this huge sapphire on the Internet, and explained the source, discovery process, and astonishing valuation of this sapphire.
Among these fans, there are more than one international students from various countries in Europe and the United States.
They posted screenshots and videos on European and American social networks, which quickly attracted countless attention and caused quite a stir.
It was through this channel that Joshua received the news and called immediately.
After talking about the source of the information, the guy finally talked about the real purpose.
"Sean, I've seen the HD pictures and videos on social media and this cornflower sapphire is so big and amazing!"
"Didn't you value this cornflower sapphire at US$60 million? I'm willing to spend US$80 million to acquire this cornflower sapphire!"
"My mother is turning 70 this year and her birthday will be in August. I am going to give her this cornflower sapphire as a birthday gift!"
Xiao Ran smiled softly and then continued:
"I'm very sorry, Joshua, your offer is very tempting, but I can't give you an answer yet, and I can't be sure whether I can sell you this top-quality sapphire."
"The video you watched may not be complete. After I found this cornflower sapphire, I gave it to Elaine on the spot. Many people saw it."
"In other words, the decision on how to deal with this top-quality cornflower sapphire does not lie with me, but with Elaine."
"Whether she is willing to sell this sapphire, I don't know..."
Joshua on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment and didn't react for a moment.
Elaine, who was also in the car, looked over and pointed at the cornflower sapphire in her hand.
At this time, she heard it very clearly.
The reason why Joshua called was because he wanted to buy this cornflower sapphire at a high price.
Xiao Ran looked at her and the cornflower sapphire, and nodded slightly.
It was only then that Joshua's voice came again.
"Sean, you are so generous. You actually gave such an amazing top-grade sapphire to your girlfriend. This is a priceless treasure that can be used as a family heirloom!"
"But this is reasonable. You have too many priceless treasures in your hands. If you take out any one, it can be regarded as a family heirloom!"
"But I still want to buy this cornflower sapphire. Please ask Elaine if she is willing to sell this gemstone. The price can be discussed later."
Xiao Ran pretended to think for a moment, then responded with a smile:
"You are so persistent, Joshua, okay, I can help you ask."
"Whether Elaine is willing to sell or not, I will give you an answer as soon as possible."
"That's great, I'll wait for your call."
Joshua said excitedly.
After chatting for a few more words, Xiao Ran ended the call and hung up the phone.
The next moment, Fang Yufei asked curiously:
"Joshua wants to buy this sapphire. How much does he pay?"
Elaine was also very concerned about the answer to this question and looked over immediately.
Xiao Ran looked at them and then gave the answer.
"Eighty million US dollars. Joshua is willing to pay a premium of 20 million US dollars to buy this sapphire, saying that he will give it to Mary as a 70th birthday present."
"It can be heard from Joshua's tone that he is willing to acquire this top-quality sapphire even if he pays US$100 million."
"But the question now is, dear, are you willing to sell this extremely rare cornflower sapphire? Price is a secondary issue."
"This top-quality sapphire now belongs to you. If you plan to collect it yourself, of course, no problem. If you choose to sell it, it will belong to you no matter how much it costs."
Elaine was silent, looking at the cornflower sapphire in her hand with fascination.
After thinking for a moment, she made a decision.
"This top-quality cornflower sapphire is so dazzling that every woman will be crazy about it. I am also obsessed with this priceless treasure!"
"But just because it is so dazzling and eye-catching, it will attract countless coveted eyes and even cause countless troubles!"
"In line with the principle of owning once you see it, not to mention that I have owned this priceless treasure for a short time, so I decided to sell this cornflower sapphire."
"Honey, you can call Joshua, talk to him about the price, and sell him this priceless treasure."
Before she finished speaking, Fang Yufei exclaimed in a low voice.
"Ah! Elaine, you want to sell this cornflower sapphire, did I hear you correctly?"
"Are you sure you won't regret selling such a priceless treasure in the future?"
Elaine nodded slightly.
"Yes, I decided to sell this priceless treasure. This treasure is indeed beautiful, but it is also the source of countless troubles and even dangers!"
"In this case, why should I keep trouble around me? What's more, I already have many top-quality jewelry and don't care about this one."
Having said that, her eyes were full of reluctance.
Hearing her words, Fang Yufei couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Xiao Ran said with a smile:
"It's good to sell this top-grade sapphire so that the trouble can be passed on to others. Joshua is right. I have countless priceless treasures in my hands."
"The rest of the top antiques and works of art are more valuable, but not so dazzling, and are more suitable for collection and family heirlooms!"
"As for contacting Joshua, there's no need to worry. It won't be long before other buyers come to the door, and we can just raise the price!"
Hearing what he said, Elaine and the others laughed.
The facts are just as Xiao Ran said.
Before the team returned to the hotel, Antoine had already called.
The young master of the Arnault family also came for this cornflower sapphire, and the price was higher.
He paid US$100 million for this cornflower sapphire, and said he would make this top-grade sapphire the treasure of the LV Group!
